This concurrent resolution, submitted under section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, directs the President to terminate the use of United States Armed Forces in hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran. This includes preventing the deployment of ground forces in a combat or occupation role, unless Congress provides explicit authorization through a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force against Iran. However, the resolution includes several important rules of construction. It clarifies that it does not prevent the United States from defending itself, its Armed Forces, or allied states from imminent attack, nor does it preclude maintaining a defensive troop presence in the region. Furthermore, it explicitly states that it does not require the removal of United States Armed Forces in the region who are not engaged in hostilities against Iran. Additionally, the resolution ensures that it will not influence or disrupt intelligence, counterintelligence, or investigative activities related to threats from Iran. This includes the collection, analysis, and sharing of intelligence with coalition partners, provided the President deems such sharing appropriate and in the national security interests of the United States. Consistent with the War Powers Resolution, this concurrent resolution is not to be construed as authorizing the use of military force.
